Many have heard of the benefits of having a pet: they support us emotionally, and they provide infinite affection and entertainment. You've probably heard a lot about having a dog explicitly, too, how loyal, keen and loving they are. But do you know what it's like to have a pug? And a very adorable and funny one at that?

Well, all of these and many more questions shall be answered once you take a gander at the comics below. Made by the talented artist Gemma Gene, they encapsulate their life together perfectly, and thousands of people find this lovely duo extremely hilarious, cute, and fun to watch.

"Mochi is a very sweet and happy dog that sees life in a particular way. He is super sweet and well behaved, but he can be very sassy and pretty much does whatever he wants. His favorite activities include sleeping, eating, and going for walks, especially when he is being carried."

Mochi is a lovely and unique pug, but many find him relatable. “A comment that I get a lot is 'do you have cameras in my home because my dog does the exact same thing!'” she said. “As it turns out, what I thought was so unique about Mochi is common in many dogs! We accidentally created a very supportive dog-loving community that has gradually grown over time.”

Gemma wants the comic to be consistent with her real life. "The main characters are Mochi, my husband Peli, and me," she said, but over time, two new members were added to the fold, and many characters were introduced, like "Mochi’s twin chihuahua brothers, the Twinchis, or Mochi’s BFF Ben."

The lockdowns and quarantines changed a lot of things in the Mochi household, but it seems that it changed for the better. “I work from home, so in that sense, it didn’t really change much. Only when the parks started closing down, Mochi was no longer able to run free and see his friends. Meanwhile, I stopped all the activities I used to do outside the house, but Mochi and the Twinchis loved that.”

Though Gemma lives in New York, she's originally from Barcelona, Spain. Though the comics are the thing she's mostly known for, she's a jack of all trades, and her interests range from sculpting to writing. Over the years, the dog owner’s follower count has grown to a whopping 363k on Instagram and over 170k fans on Facebook.

In the early 2000s we had the most beautiful pup there ever was, Freddie (Mercury). He was a yorkie Chihuahua mix, and, as one would expect, was a bit difficult to handle. He did well with me, but my mom is a bit softer, so he didn't showed her the the same respect. Anyway, one Saturday I was at rehearsal with my band when my mom calls crying. She tried to give Freddie a bath, but he wouldn't let her take him out of the tub to get dried. She begged me to rush home, so I did. Entering the apartment, the picture was this: my mom sitting on a kitchen chair, crying, hands full of bite marks. He was inside of a tub on top of the kitchen counter, wagging his little tail, very happy to see me. The tub had lukewarm water, maybe blood, and pieces of hotdogs floating because my mom tried to trick him into cooperating by giving him the forbidden treat. I started laughing not knowing what to do with that level of drama. Miss that little guy.

My dog wouldn't find the opening of a fence she just walked through. She kept looking at me like WAIT A MINUTE! YOU KEPT WALKING! ARE YOU LEAVING ME? I had to go back, showed her the opening, she still wasn't convinced, so i grabbed her. She could easily jump the fence, but was too busy being dramatic and watching me walk 2 meters away from her.

When I say I wanna be alone it does not apply to my pup. She's always welcome.

I used to follow Mochi on IG before deactivating. Love this chubby floofy boll, and his friend Ben!

I don't see any drawing about the poor wretched things chocking, gasping for air, or passing out in the sun or after a wee run... Please don't buy designer dogs. They are condemned to a life of suffering!
